Update 9pm

Flagship player Cassar is released by Floriana

Floriana kept on giving releases to players as they repeated what they did with Christian Caruana also with Christian Cassar. Cassar know as il-Yaya accepted to be released in an agreement with the Club as long as he forfeits the dues that have accumulated with the player. Now Cassar can register with any team even after the closing of the transfer window because he is a free release player and also because he did not feature with Floriana as yet this season. This site is informed that he is not fully fit as yet but has commenced light training. He might be a good investment for Balzan FC, Rabat Ajax or Melita FC.

Edmond Agius till December with Valletta

Agius was also one of the players that could have moved in the last hours of the Summer 2012 transfer market that closed on Friday 7pm, but he was kept on the Valletta books. From twelve games so far Mark Miller that Valletta played he never opted for Agius in his starting eleven decision. The player was on the wish list by Mosta FC, Birkirkara and his hometown Club Rabat Ajax.

Ryan Darmanin to stay with Wright

Darmain was not released by Floriana nor was he swapped as originally planned. He will stay under the guidance of Mark Wright for at least the next four months.

Owen Bugeja deal is off

The deal which was being masterminded between Qormi and Floriana which would have involved the exchange of three players from each Club felt apart and will not materialize this site has learnt.

Update 5pm

Ryan Darmanin

In the meantime Ryan Darmanin who was originally in the planned 3 vs 3 exchange deal, can move to Balzan this site is informed. He already agreed terms with George Borg and Ivan Zammit the teams President and coach respectively. Darmanin is owed over than €10,000 from Floriana for arrears but Wright is saying that the players who scored the 1-1 goal against Hamrun is still in his plans. Floriana offered to pay just 30% of his arrears and asked the player to offset the rest in wrting as a mutual consent a proposal which was given the back by the striker.

Last registrations

The last registrations that were entered today at the MFA were those of Triston Caruana and of David Fenech respectively. Caruana is set to go on loan for another season with Qormi whilst David Fenech who started the season with Sliema rejoined his former coach Clive Mizi now at Tarxien.

Floriana midfielder Christian Cassar known as il-yaya was given the release by Attard after just one yeear he signed for good eith the Greens.

—————–

A deal might be struck soon between Qormi FC and Floriana FC with three players swapping Clubs in a joint effort headed by high officials of the two Clubs.

Matthew Bartolo set to join Floriana

As reported in another story by this site Floriana want to offload players that are owed money in arrears for services with the Vilhena Club. Floriana are offloading these players by giving releases to individuals.

The deal involves the move of Ryan Darmanin, Owen Bugeja and Christian Cassar from Floriana to Qormi and Matthew Bartolo, Bello Abubaker Osagie and an Argentinian player who is already registered under the books of Qormi to join the Greens. The deal must be closed off before 7pm tomorrow since it is the last day of the Summer transfer market.

At a point in time Floriana’s Duncan Pisani was also mentioned in the deal. It is an open secret that Qormi coach Stephen Azzopardi wants Duncan Pisani since he is a utility player and has played in the past with Qormi in a loan deal two seasons ago.

On Qormi’s top wish list is Owen Bugeja who can be the only player dealt if the 3 on 3 deal falls apart. Negotiations will resume on Friday morning.

This site can reveal that leading the negotiations fro Floriana is Mark Wright himself who has cancelled Thursday’s session via an sms to the players.

The final meeting between Redino Apap, Wright and Justin Attard will be held at 11am on Friday

I assumed that the plan was for the investors to settle the debts by forking the money themselves not by releasing the players.

The funniest thing about this was the cancellation of the training session. If a Maltese coach would have done this – I can’t imagine the comments but it’s ok if it is Mark Wright I assume! Don’t Floriana have an assistant coach to handle training sessions in the coach’s absence?
